RockStar: SuperNova Aug 23, 2006

The Elimination Show: Dilana has fallen from her high perch and it has little to do with the music. In the clips from the mansion, Dilana completely trashed the other rockers, apparently sparing no one. At first this seemed like a Mark Burnett add some drama stunt, but she went on and on and on. Two main targets emerged:

Dilana vs Ryan: Saying that Ryan's song would have been nothing without the House Band was just plain wrong. As Dave Navarro pointed out all the Rockers have to get on stage with the House Band. Ryan wrote a good song and he played and sang it very well. He deserved everyone's respect. Perhaps Dilana was jealous that she didn't get to do the original song?

Dilana vs Lukas: She said that she felt Lukas was just trying to milk the show for as long as he could. I think that may have been true of some of the long gone Rockers, but this far into the competition? She also implied that Magni was only interested in his family. At this point I would say that each Rocker is committed to the band and that should not even be questioned....

Oh yeah we also had some music tonight. Toby joined SuperNova on stage for a song called (and I love the title) " Be Yourself and 5 Other Cliches". Toby brought a very different sound to SuperNova. The music was very much like The Clash and I enjoyed Toby's vocals... There may be hope for the band after all......

And now the elimination: Patrice, Storm, Toby and MAGNI were told to stand. Let me cut to the chase: Storm was the one who did not make the bottom three and man did she look disappointed. I still think she wants to highlight one of her own songs. I don't think she will have to wait much longer though....

MAGNI: Once again I am in shock that he even made the bottom three. I think this may have more to do with fan clubs and voting blocs than talent cause Magni has talent to spare. Tonight he brought the house down with his version of "Fire" by Jimmi Hendrix. WOW!

Patrice: "Middle of the Road" by the Pretenders. Vanilla ice cream. Safe, boring, uninspired. Cue the mini van.....

Toby: "Plush" by the Stone Temple Pilot's....Toby also did not belong in the bottom three this week IMHO. He ripped up this song and showed he can do the hard stuff as well as any of the other Rockers...

In the end the TommyHawk fell on Patrice. A safe boring uninspired choice, but the correct one. The mini van was in the house Y'all........

OK now my rankings. IMHO tonight really hurt Dilana. If you are going to be on the road with a band for year you have to play nice. If she starts being 'honest' about Tommy, Gilby and Jason how long would the band last? While I cannot totally ignore what she has done on the show, she has fallen from my number one spot....

Watch out, Ryan is coming on like a freight train.

No encore tonight, weird eh?
